Macbeth

Macbeth Shakespeare’s Macbeth is a very dark play. The first of the play introduces readers to the importance of darkness. Throughout the play most key events occur at night, often in dark and gloomy places. I think the “darkness” in the play was used to make the plot more interesting. The very first scene takes place in the middle of a thunderstorm. The three witches are calling to each other through the storm, and preparing to meet Macbeth. The witches create a dark force over the play. Shakespeare used nature as darkness. Nature behaves in frightening and strange ways in the play. In the first act, Lady Macbeth reads a letter that Macbeth wrote her. He tells her in the letter that he is now the thane of Cawdor. Then, the messenger tells Lady Macbeth that king Duncan is coming to her castle. At that point, Lady Macbeth invites “darkness” and evil to come live in her. She wants Macbeth to kill Duncan, so he can become the kind of Scotland. Macbeth tells her no, that he can’t kill Duncan, because he has been good to him. The “darkness” and evil inside of her persuades Macbeth to go through with her plan and macbeth, darkness, play, duncan, lady, kill, witches, think, king, go, dark, tells, inside, first, daggers, through, scotland, evil, very, takes, servants, scene, readers, preparing, power, plan, over, nature, meet, live, letter, just, gave, dagger, come
